So I just got off an online chat session with my broker (demo) and only got half the answer I needed.
I figured out how to take an immedate profit of partial lots, but how the heck do you do that by setting a take profit value?
If I place a sell order of .2 lots and then want .1 of those lots to close out at X pips, where do I enter that in?
I right click on the order, select modify. If I enter .1 lots and the value to TP at I can't then switch to modify mode as that erases those values and wants to modify the whole order.
Instant execution only wants to close .1 lots immediately and it seems as if Buy/Sell would just place a new order.
Do I select pending order and then select one of the buy options? Does it matter which at this point?
I must be dense... Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can't seem to get this right.
